Hi all

A long standing user of TrainerBase has got in touch to say that they are looking to retire at the end of the year. They have built up two successful training businesses with a number of interesting products and services particularly around behavioural training, concentration on learning, thinking and reading skills.

One particular aspect of the package is a trade marked product and associated course.

The training is internationally known and has been conducted in UK, Europe and most countries in the Gulf region of the Middle East. They are also proud to state that they have had participants travel to join them from across the world.

The trainer would like to sell both companies as a package. With the IPR, course material, and marketing initiatives they would provide the buyer full support and back up. They would also include training aids and office equipment.

Alternatively they would sell training packages for trainers who wish to expand their training portfolio. Again they would provide full support.

Please email me direct if you would like me to put your name forward to the seller.

* You can give responsibility to managers for coaching once trainees are back in the workplace.

"this is exactly what I've been hoping for! Very exciting"

"Just tried this out and it's brilliant"

"I think it is a very clever piece of kit and really easy to use"

Investing in coaching is a good use of your time and money, as this is one skill that can, and will, spread the more you use it.

Can you or your business relate to any of these statements?

o Businesses are demanding greater efficiency, increased value for money, shareholder confidence and customer satisfaction………….

o In today’s world customers have less money to spend and want more for their money. Do all employees understand how the business works and what differentiates you from the crowd?

o Not all staff see the big picture, think outside the box and pull in the same direction; impacting your competitive advantage.

To address these issues it is not enough to just tell people to do it. If you want people to learn how to run a business, you need to provide them with a business they can practice with.

Business Simulations provide the solution that will give your business the edge, by replicating the day to day challenges – in a safe, learning environment. Participants experience deep, enduring learning and real empathy with the challenges of running a successful business.
